Hi Graham,
Free Download Manager is a lot more than that. For example, it can even
download all of the files from a given web page. This is useful for
example, on allofmp3, where they give you a list of links to all of the
tracks on an album. You can just right click one of the links, and one of
the options is download all using Free Download Manager, and it just goes
and gets every link on the web page. It is much more sophisticated than,
for example, Getright, which you have to pay for.
All the best

hi ray.
these days, the main advantage of a download manager is that it can resume
broken downloads. it used to be that a download manager would download
files in a number of Threads or effectively separate parts and join them all
up at the end. This could be helpful in getting the fastest downloads
possible out of dial-up connections, but it is not so important for
broadband connections.
Also, download managers give you a history of files you downloaded and where
they were downloaded from so files can be redownloaded if need be or you can
just refer to where the file came from.
regards
Graham

Douglas, I tend to think Sandra's thoughts and adviceson Honeypot are most
likely on the
mark. There was quite some discussion around this issue on the Window-Eyes
list a few
months back when V5 of Spysweeper was released. It soon became obvious
there were issues
about Spysweeper interpreting the keyboard actions of W-E users as a
keystroke logger, or
this is what appears to have happened.
At first Spysweeper 5 generated a lot of processor-intensive work, seemingly
because of this
oversight on Webroot's part. It makes you wonder too if, just, maybe,
Spysweeper could get
upset by the video chaining that the three big name screen readers have to
use, but that's
purely speculation on my part.
Like Sandra, I've turned off the keylogger, which Webroot say is not
essential anyway, which
beggs the question as to whether it should have been included until all
issues were
betterknown.
I guess if you really want to run another check you could do worse than
download an
evaluation of Trojan Hunter which appears to be highly regarded. Given you
are running
Spysweeper and NOD32 though, I doubt you've much reason to be concerned.
Maybe, Douglas if you are still reading this, you could enlighten me, off
list if you like,
as to the precise advantage of download managers.

Thanks for the clarification, Sandra. I will sleep better
tonight! After the message from Simon I was becoming quite worried
and have avoided activities like on-line banking in case log on
details etc. were vulnerable. Articles in the press yesterday and on
the radio had made me even more security conscious than usual.
